Sekaye Leblanc is a Euthanatos mage of the Political Triage International Cabal.
Biography[]
Sekaye Leblanc is a tired man who holds himself together with love and unshakable discipline. Leblanc Awakened at the age of 11 in an Igbo village. His first experiments with magic terrified his community. He ran away, joining the French Foreign Legion (from which he gained his last name) as a teen and using his healing skills as a medic. By his 20th birthday, his talents came to the notice of the Euthanatos, who schooled him in their ways and inducted him into the Knights of Radamanthys.
Leblanc spent the next decade refining his magical skills, tending wounded death mages, and forgetting all about his origins. When his birthplace was incorporated into the nation of Biafra he didn't pay much attention, and during the nation's fall he skipped headlines about the war. It was only after Arthur Effiong came to Calcutta that he took notice of what had happened to his old homeland. he was seized with despair and a sudden appreciation for his people. He joined Effiong's honor guard in penance, and, in an impassioned memorial speech, laid down the ground work for what would eventually become PTI.
All the same, an old resentment for the way his people had treated him festered in his soul. When Elizabeth Bharati almost went into Quiet, he saw it as an opportunity to abandon the project completely. Out of love and a lingering grudge, he retreated to the Golden Chalice.
The Chalice sent him to medical school and trained him to lead a team of assassins. Since he could provide medical support as well as leadership, this was thought to be an efficient arrangement. In practice, it meant that he had to save lives and give orders at the same time, dividing his attention during critical moments. In truth, he was almost talented enough to handle it. Elizabeth wanted to return to their old cabal, however, and he felt he had unfinished business there as well. Together, the two of them reshaped the cabal into Political Triage International.
These days, Leblanc heads the cabal's medical operations with a strict, if not enthusiastic, hand. He's 70 years old now, though magic and an active lifestyle make him look about the same age as Elizabeth Bharati. he feels incomplete without her. In truth, his rigid thinking and lingering childhood trauma have barred him from Seekings for years, and only his lover's needs interest him any more.
Appearance[]
Sekaye Leblanc wears plain khakis most of the time with a pair of worn parade boots and a black bag usually slung over his shoulder. He's completely bald, and the white metal frames of his bifocals offset his dark skin. He has a lean build and large, gloved hands. His soft, articulate voice issues from a mouth that never frowns or smiles. His face is more wrinkled than you'd expect from a man of his apparent age (he looks about 50), but less than his full 70 years. As a side effect of the Life magic he uses to keep himself in top shape, he's missing his fingernails, toenails and all body hair. His skin has an unnaturally smooth quality, like stone.
